Texas law enforcement captured a Venezuelan prison escapee convicted of raping and murdering a 10-year-old child, exposing the deadly consequences of Biden’s open border that flooded America with violent criminals who should have never set foot on our soil.
Venezuelan Child Killer Caught After Window Escape Attempt
Texas Department of Public Safety Criminal Investigations Division special agents, working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations, and Border Patrol, tracked Alexis Ramon Perozo-Monasterio to an El Paso hotel. The 36-year-old Venezuelan national attempted to evade capture by jumping from a second-floor window but was quickly apprehended. Authorities confirmed Perozo-Monasterio as a confirmed Tren de Aragua gang member wanted by Venezuelan authorities after escaping prison, where he was serving 17 years for raping and murdering a 10-year-old child. This monster had previously been charged with “alien inadmissibility” by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in April 2023, yet somehow remained in the country.

Biden’s Border Crisis Unleashed Terror Across America
The Trump administration designated Tren de Aragua as a foreign terrorist organization earlier this year after a record one million Venezuelans illegally entered the country under the Biden administration, causing violent crime to increase exponentially. This violent gang, originating from a Venezuelan prison, engages in murder, kidnapping, extortion, and human and drug trafficking, with confirmed cases now in roughly half of all U.S. states. That represents a dramatic expansion from just 22 states reported last December. El Paso has become a hub for TdA activity and human trafficking, with the FBI repeatedly warning about violent criminal activity in the state’s largest western city. Governor Greg Abbott designated TdA as a foreign terrorist organization last November and directed Texas DPS to target and eradicate them from the state.
Mexican Gang Member Captured After Illegal Reentry
In Webb County, Operation Lone Star officers conducting a traffic stop in Laredo apprehended Gregorio Denova-Cantu, a 51-year-old Mexican citizen in the U.S. illegally. Authorities discovered Denova-Cantu was an aggravated deported felon who illegally reentered after serving prison time for murder, and a ranking member of the Hermandad de Pistoleros Latinos gang. He was convicted in 2004 of murder and engaging in organized crime, served 18 years in Huntsville prison, and was deported to Mexico in 2023. Despite deportation, this convicted murderer simply walked back across Biden’s open border. OLS officers turned him over to ICE, where he remains in custody, though the question remains how many other deported criminals have similarly returned undetected.

K-9 Unit Tracks Gotaways Through Dense Brush
In Starr County, Operation Lone Star brush teams working with K-9 units pursued illegal border crossers known as gotaways—those who intentionally evade capture and don’t make immigration claims or return to Mexico or Canada. More than two million gotaways were reported during the Biden administration. K-9 Malina tracked a group of four illegal border crossers for nearly two miles through rugged, thick brush after they bailed from a vehicle during pursuit. The successful apprehension demonstrates the critical importance of Texas’s aggressive border security measures. Texas DPS Lt. Chris Oliverez emphasized that Operation Lone Star’s “mission continues,” highlighting the ongoing threat that persists despite Trump’s efforts to secure the border and undo the catastrophic damage from four years of intentional negligence.
